Are you struggling with feeling comfortable with your sexual self? Have you ever felt guilt or shame about your sexual curiosities and/or desires? Do you find it difficult to communicate your sexual needs and desires with your partner(s) or potential partner(s)? Are you experiencing other areas of your relationship also suffering at the same time? I use a sex-positive approach that I find to be professionally essential while working with clients around issues or concerns of their sexuality. Using this approach promotes open and honest communication. I reframe from using language characterized as dehumanizing or even judgmental.

The resilience of the human spirit is boundless! However, our thoughts impact our mood and our past shapes our view of the present. We all face obstacles in our lives and yet we all have the capacity to learn from our behavior and make the changes we desire.

Are you a parent, couple, or individual struggling with your relationships? Are you having difficulty communicating your feelings, needs, and wants? Or, when you do, does it come out as frustration, anger, and resentment? Struggling with these issues can feel overwhelming and disheartening. I work in-depth with my clients to help bridge the communication gap, increase effective communication skills, and reduce combative and reactionary conversations in order to promote dialogue and build trust and respect in relationships.

We are living in unpredictable times. It's hard to know what's going to happen next and many of the coping mechanisms we have come to rely on are not available to us. It's easy to feel lonely and unsure. If isolation and anxiety are starting to impact you in ways you don't like then you have made a wise choice to reach out for help.

Are you a worried parent of a teenager who's headed for trouble, or is already there? I'll help you get your kid back on track. Are you suffering the aftereffects of trauma (nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, feeling disconnected from yourself and loved ones)? We'll find a way to heal your pain and make you whole again. Had enough of the bipolar roller-coaster? Want to break free of alcohol, substances, and other addictions, including eating disorders? Let's develop a plan for your recovery, so you have your life back.

Your healing matters. Healing can often look like having stronger boundaries, less avoidance, improved work performance, and more satisfaction in relationships. Unresolved trauma can make your relationships, parenting, work performance, bodily functioning, and overall day-to-day routine feel unbearable. I provide therapy short-term or long-term to help you cope with what is lingering e.g. stress, anxiety, depression, or triggers to previous trauma. I adapt my therapy style depending on the person and context because each responds differently to psychotherapy. Providing a safe space is always my first priority.

Hello! Life is often challenging and many people struggle on their own. I understand it can be a difficult decision to ask for help, but therapy is a great way to find support. It is my desire to work with you to help identify goals and develop a plan together to address and resolve your current struggles. I work with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, parenting/co-parenting, life transitions, or assisting people in connecting more deeply with others and increasing satisfaction in their relationships.

Working with clients from all kinds of cultural and ethnic backgrounds is something I love doing. My first private practice was in Vienna, Ausria where I received referrals from the United Nations. My passion is in assisting with transformation. I custom-fit your sessions to what works best for you. When I experienced therapy as a client it involved much suffering; therefore I made a commitment to make therapy as comfortable, fun (laughter is a great healer) and as easy and efficient as possible. I think "out of the box" and work well intuitively.

If you or your child is struggling with depression, social relationships or having trouble coping with other difficulties life has thrown at you it is time to ask for help. You can get comfort and learn the skills to cope with anxiety, grief, social fears etc. Talking to a therapist can be the first step towards a more joyful and satisfying life. I work with children, teens, and adults, couples, and families. Child therapy sessions involve play therapy and the use of creative art materials. Sometimes just having someone to listen can make all the difference.

Hi! If I have learned one thing in life it's that change is difficult, particularly without help. I offer the opportunity to work collaboratively through what's keeping you from living the life you always thought you would have. Therapy can help one let go of patterns and beliefs, often subconscious, that aren't working. And changing our assumptions about the world and improving our relationships can result in profoundly positive changes and a life worth embracing! I look forward to helping you realize those changes.

It is my passion to help empower women of color. Using an integrated approach, I help women develop insight into their current circumstances and develop a pathway forward. I believe that each of us has a better version of ourselves within. Whether you are struggling through a life transition, experiencing race-based stress or general mental health concerns, our shared goal is ultimately to connect you to the best version of yourself. My experience has been that as the best you emerges, so does your sense of joy.

Trouble communicating with your teen? Unable to break the cycle of arguments with your partner? Overwhelmed and not sure why? Our interactions with the world are shaped by our families and the broader cultures that surround us as we grow up. As an adult, you might find that those patterns no longer work for you, or get in the way of your having fulfilling relationships with your spouse or children.

You are not alone. With over 20 years experience counseling individuals, I can help! People seek therapy for many reasons. Sometimes we just keep ending up in the same life patterns despite our best efforts to change. You may want to feel better about yourself, or are struggling to overcome wounds from the past that keep holding you back. Perhaps you have been suffering for too long with feelings of panic, fear, anxiety and depression that interfere with your relationships and having the life you want. I believe we all have great capacity for change. Crisis is an opportunity for profound growth leading to a happier life.

It is time to face life's challenges with renewed determination and a stronger sense of self.

Feeling like no one understands what you are going through and wondering where to turn? When dealing with life's struggles, no matter how big or small, we often wish we could find someone who understands, is supportive, takes the time to listen, and who will help create a safe and supportive environment and build a trusting relationship to help navigate through life's twists and turns.

I trust that lasting change occurs in a safe and collaborative environment, and I know that making the decision to reach out to a psychologist and embark on a path towards change is extremely difficult. I believe in the importance of finding a clinician who will be the right match for you, so please feel free to explore both my profile and website in order to find out more about me and the services that I offer. Please note: I do NOT accept insurance at this time.

Hi! Thanks for considering me as your therapist. Whether you are struggling with a past trauma or current relationship, I have nearly 30 years of helping people learn to live the best life possible. Areas of expertise: cult recovery (religious, other); ACA, PTSD, addictions, and narcissistic relationships, grief and loss. All of us hit speed bumps -- sometimes mountains -- that keep us from moving forward. Our beliefs about how life works can block happiness. We can't always change what's happening, but we can change our perception of it. I work exclusively online via Skype: bea.armstrong19. See my web site: www.beaarmstrong.com

Often a person will seek out counseling when personal attempts to solve a problem have not worked. Therapy is a safe and supportive environment in which to explore very personal concerns - concerns that may be difficult to share even with those closest to you. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I can provide a different kind of support than family and friends; I will listen objectively, not be judgmental, and help you to find your own solutions. My role is to help you feel better and to assist you to acheive your own personal goals.

I'M SORRY, I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ACCEPT NEW CLIENTS. Do you lay awake worrying about your relationship, your family, money, your job, or your life in general? Feel stressed out, unable to relax? Wish you could "stop the world and get off" for while? Therapy is a good place to do just that. To help you figure out what's not working, and new ways to approach old problems. Like how to talk to your partner without getting into the same fight over and over. Or how to get your kid to stop "talking back." Or maybe you just need someone to talk to, who won't judge you. We can talk via video or phone.
